The Dickies

The Dickies are an American punk rock band formed in 1977, known for fast, humorous and satirical punk songs and memorable covers.

Formed in the San Fernando Valley in 1977, The Dickies are noted for their humorous, high-speed take on punk and for recording novelty and cover songs (examples in the site's works: "Banana Splits", "Paranoid", "Nights in White Satin"). Their debut album Dawn of the Dickies (late 1970s) is frequently cited in coverage of early California punk.

A contemporary take on The Dickies' late-70s debut: fast, demented and satirical punk with playful covers and cartoonish gags. The review praises their audacity and highlights standout tracks while noting uneven jokes and a few weak moments.
